Pelican = great. These Arms Are Snakes = great, also. The two touring, together = nurse, I need a sponge down.

The bands hit the UK in April - not, like, hit the UK, like, with their fists... well, probably not - and travel the land laying down layer upon layer of dense sonic noise. Noise that sounds great. Hurray!

And what's best of all? The dates are co-sponsored by DrownedinSound.com and Rock Sound magazine, meaning that there'll be all manner of rockin' treats coming your way before the tour kicks off on April 14. Expect to see fancy features on both acts soon, both on these pages and in those of Rock Sound, our monthly glossy of choice.
